I recieved a phone call from this number, 515 367 0548 The man left me a message on my phone.Then started to harrass me about an add i posted on craigslist, I simply said no spam is welcome to my email replies. I tried to call this person back and it said this number is out of service, how is that possible, and better yet who is he??? Why would anyone waste there time to harrass someone???
Any info would be greatly appricated
I received a call from this guy, phone number 515-367-0548. He called me on the phone number I provided on my craigslist add and yelled at me about not following craigslist rules and that he would flag my add, but he never did. He obviously likes yelling at craigs lists posters.
I also received a call from this phone number today. The caller told me basically the same thing about not following craigs list rules because I wasn't located in the Des Moines Metro area. He told me that he would post an ad for free puppies and use my phone number on the ad. What?! I live in the sticks almost as close to Des Moines as I am KC. Who is this guy and what right does he have to call and harass people?
I received one of these as well. Mr. Grumpy left a temper tantrum of a voicemail about CL etiquette. It included several uses of the phrase "For God's sake, GROW UP" along with some other choice words. I don't think I need to point out the irony.
What Mr. Grumpy doesn't realize is that he should probably block his caller ID if he's going to make this his hobby. Some people think they are anonymous just because they either use a soft phone or don't accept inbound calls. It's the age of technology, buddy....grow up :-)
Even someone with average tech savvy can deduce that the call originated in the town of Elkhart (little town just northeast of Ankeny with maybe 400 people). Dig a little deeper, and you find that this line is leased through Iowa Telecom. Dig a little deeper and....well, it doesn't take long to pin down a name, street address, and even an email address associated with the account. Something tells me prank calling wouldn't be as fun if someone were to post said personal information in a public forum such as this...I choose not to stoop to that level of intrusion, but others may not be as kind.
I found Mr Grumpy's voicemail amusing personally....but I know not everyone would see the humor in it. The voicemail I received, for example, is a slam-dunk case of 3rd degree harassment if one were to persue it - a misdemenor in Iowa. With a recorded message, there's really not much despute to the matter. Could easily cost him a $1,000 fine, probation, community service, or even time in the county jail depending on his priors. Kind of embarassing for a grown "man", don't ya think?
Anyone receiving future calls from this number should, at the very least, report it to Iowa Telecom at 1-877-902-4692. If their company policy is anything like Qwests, a few accumulated prank call complaints from that number and your service can be terminated due to misuse (clearly outlined in your service agreement).
My advice to you sir, is to take some of your own medicine and please "grow up".
This guy obviously has no life if all he does is look at Craig's List ads till he drives himself crazy. Then he finds the time to call people and leave lengthy harassing messages. I say he should stay off Craig's List if he's so insulted by it. And get a life, buddy! You'd think someone had come and punched holes in your tires or something, as worked up as you get. Geez, that's pathetic!! Lighten up while you're out there looking for a life - otherwise, no one will take you seriously because you sound like a whining nut case. No doubt people who know you already think that you are :)
